Solo female traveler in Bangkok here! First off this apartment is on the first floor which I was concerned about but there’s plenty of security, and the room overlooks the driveway, so don’t worry about this. The location is very convenient with a daily shuttle, and next to a nice cafe for working. Layout of the room is ok, but there were massive stains and orange peels? in the left bedroom that I had to wait for the housekeeper to come back and clean up. There were also stray hairs all over the apartment that I cleaned up myself. Left bedroom also has a faulty lightbulb but this isn’t a major concern. Right bathroom water pressure is almost nonexistent.
Berry/ Haiwen were very kind and thorough in their responses. The apartment is also very well equipped (kettle, kitchen utensils, scissors, garbage bags, hairdryer, ironing board, vacuum cleaner).
BUT the host response times were not optimal when I had two emergencies: faulty Samsung smart lock that went into privacy mode with me inside the room, when I couldn’t open the hallway door. No one got back to me until it was an entire day later and I spent time trapped in the room until the privacy setting went off, which was a huge fire hazard.
The lock was a major source of concern, because it also didn’t always automatically lock when I left the room. I would come back from getting delivery and find that you could just push the door open. This was another major security concern, and I’d sleep with a chair behind the door. Please make sure the lock turns red before you leave!
